I agree that the good response isn't typical of every student's life but it shows us that we have to take some of our past and develop it while in college or explore what else is out there. Thanks for sharing- I look forward for more posts!

First of all, I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying the blog! It's great that you're starting to think about the process very early in high school.

I see you point and I am very thankful for the advice, but I have a problem with the example of a good response that you gave. It describes an overachieving student with a lifelong passion. But what about normal students who don't have this type of love for something? What should WE say?

p.s. I also want to thank you for writing this blog. I'm a freshman and this blog has
